Nephrotoxicity is the most prevalent toxicity which is related to the organ called Kidney. Nephrotoxicity occurs when body get exposed to a drugs or toxic metabolites. A number of synthetic, therapeutically active medicinal agents such as aminoglycosides antibiotic, chemotherapeutic agents and NSAIDS may affects urinary system resulting in acute renal failure, nephritis and other kidney related disease. Medicinal plants potentially possess most prominent role in the treatment of kidney related disorders and helpful in the development of effective therapy for kidney problems. Medicinal herbs are rich source of phytoconstituents, so the presence of some bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, steroids, phenols, alkaloids shows potent Nephroprotective properties towards to nephrotoxicity. In this current review aimed to illustrate a list of recent medicinal herbs act as Nephroprotective agents.

A number of synthetic, therapeutically active medicinal agents such as aminoglycosides antibiotic, chemotherapeutic agents and NSAIDS may affects urinary system resulting in acute renal failure, nephritis and other kidney related disease. Medicinal plants potentially possess most prominent role in the treatment of kidney related disorders and helpful in the development of effective therapy for kidney problems. Medicinal herbs are rich source of phytoconstituents, so the presence of some bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, steroids, phenols, alkaloids shows potent Nephroprotective properties towards to nephrotoxicity. In this current review aimed to illustrate a list of recent medicinal herbs act as Nephroprotective agents.
